In late February 2025, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a critical alert regarding a ransomware attack targeting Trimble Cityworks, an asset management platform widely used by local governments and infrastructure organizations across the United States. The attack, detailed in a report by Cyber Security Hub, exploits vulnerabilities in Cityworks’ systems, enabling attackers to encrypt critical data and disrupt municipal operations. This incident, discovered in early 2025, has raised concerns about the security of software integral to managing public infrastructure, from utilities to public works.

On July 25, 2025, the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, faced a digital onslaught that brought its municipal systems to a standstill. What began as "suspicious activity" detected on the city's internal networks quickly escalated into a confirmed cyberattack, described by Mayor Melvin Carter as a "deliberate, coordinated digital attack" orchestrated by a sophisticated external actor. The breach targeted critical infrastructure, forcing the city to shut down its IT systems, including Wi-Fi in public buildings and online payment services. This unprecedented disruption prompted a state of emergency, as St. Paul grappled with the immediate fallout of an attack that has left residents and officials scrambling to restore normalcy.

A new ransomware strain, dubbed Gunra, has surfaced as a significant threat to Windows systems, with attacks detected as early as July 2025. This sophisticated malware, identified by security researchers at Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42, targets both individual and enterprise Windows environments, encrypting critical files and demanding cryptocurrency ransoms. Unlike typical ransomware, Gunra employs advanced obfuscation techniques and targets system vulnerabilities, making it a formidable challenge for cybersecurity defenses. Organizations and users are urged to stay vigilant as this threat continues to evolve.
